i take a low dose 1/20 birth control pill and ive only been taking it for a month. im a high school athlete so even though my bf and i of ovr 1.5 yrs have had sex i went on birth control to regulate my period from athletics. i did it for me. i know that the pill takes a month or so to actually protect and i always make sure everything is "safe" using several different methods. the other week judgment lapsed and only 1 method was used the "pull out" method. im the kind of person that worries over evrything so ive been paranoid since then. im on the birth control pill and its the end of month 1 with no missed pills and only 1 time being a few hours late in taking it. i take 21 days of pills and then a week of nothing where im sposed to get a period. all i got was spotting for 4-5 days. since i jst started the pill is it normal for me to start a little thrown off like this? the doctor did say it would take 3-4 months for it to actually start regulating my cycle. should i be worried about......pregnancy or am i jst paranoid? keep in mind tht intimate moments stop before he "climaxes". im so paranoid about these things. im generally a good kid. i dnt usually make mistakes. its why i freak out about evrything. help! we're pretty sure its not the big p word but im so paranoid. i dnt hav any othr symptoms and its been a few weeks. i hav stress and fatigue from the new rigorous program at skool as well as intense sports training. i jst need to know that the spotting is normal or at least possibl.
